Plenty of photo opportunities of course but also very interesting stories from Yerevan in soviet times.

A very unique tour driving around Yerevan traveling with Arti (the driver) and Arto (tour guide and photographer) in a 1962 Volga sedan. Arto speaks excellent English and provided a great tour around some unique and scenic parts of Yerevan with several stops to walk around particular places (Mother Armenia memorial, Cascades, children’s train park, etc.). Arto took photos throughout the tour. Lots of fun touring around with these two in a grand old car. They both have very interesting perspectives and stories that provide good insights into life in Yerevan and Armenia overall. A very relaxed and enjoyable tour experience with lots of good conversation. Great pair of guys to hang out with for a few hours on a beautiful day in Yerevan. Highly recommend this tour.Fantastic experience which I would highly recommend to others. The glass of Armenian brandy towards the end was a lovely touch

This is a cool tour of yerevan with a cool host and cool driver. I was picked up right on time in my hotel and immediately felt so comfortable with the guide and driver. The driver, arturo, was kind enough to let me drive the volga! We went to the mother armenia statue, had some cognac with orange slices, drove to an abandoned park, past the American university and cascades. My only negative was I wanted to spend all day with the two of them. Recommendation, if you book this tour, book it for the day. Awesome hosts and super cool car! Highly reocmmend.Exellent and different experience. A mix of history, traditions and brandy! You will feel the streets of Yerevan with other face. I recomend 100%.
